  1. Understanding Cobra Exercise The Cobra exercise, also known as Bhujangasana, is a popular back-bending yoga pose that improves back strength, flexibility, and overall wellness. By understanding how to do it right, you can avoid injuries and make the most of its benefits.

  2. Muscles Engaged in Cobra Exercise Cobra primarily engages the erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and rectus abdominis. Each of these muscles contributes to stability, flexibility, and core strength, which are key for a well-rounded fitness routine.

  3. Key Benefits of Cobra Exercise Practicing the cobra pose strengthens the back, enhances flexibility, reduces back and sciatic pain, and promotes better posture. It can also help with digestion, respiratory function, and menstrual health, making it an excellent choice for holistic wellness.

  4. Step-by-Step Guide to Doing Cobra Exercise Start lying face-down with hands under shoulders. Slowly press up, lifting your chest, keeping elbows slightly bent. Breathe deeply and hold for 15-30 seconds. Relax shoulders and keep the core engaged to avoid lower back strain

  5. Avoid These Common Mistakes To ensure a safe cobra pose, avoid common mistakes like overarching the lower back, incorrect hand placement, holding breath, and hyperextending elbows. Engage your core, keep shoulders relaxed, and listen to your body.

  6. How Cobra Complements Other Back Exercises Integrating cobra with exercises like lat pulldowns, dumbbell rows, and supermans strengthens your back and boosts overall flexibility. Together, these exercises offer a balanced approach to back health.
